I have ET/Jak2. Low iron but I am not anemic. The fatigue did not start until I was on HU, 500 mg, 2x week. I also went off of hrt for hot flashes due to concerns about clotting and strokes. I was on hrt for 20 years. Now, on HU, 500 mg, is 3x a week. The hot flashes are hourly and disturb my sleep. I am taking Evening Primrose Oil several times per day for hot flashes, but not seeing improvement. My blood work is better with the HU and iron supplement but the fatigue is interrupting my life.
